hope that Alex is going to share some figures and optimization

So @Alex: Even with you potentially paying someone for optimizing
your rendering stack, would be great if you could share the
results so others could benefit in the future as well.

It might also be ESXI related. If I will find something, I will
share it.<br>
That machine acts strange since it won't saturate anything else than
RAM.<br>
<br>
What we noticed to this point:<br>
- eventually, it will eat as much RAM as you trow on it<br>
- if you won't define a swap, it will crash <b>(so if you
experience that, try to tweak that </b><b>value to 75% of the
actual size of RAM)</b><br>
- CPU load is under <50% no matter what (we've tried anything
from 12 to 32 cores)<br>
- disk usage is around 1 mb/s with some spikes<br>
<br>
This is what it will do a few hours after the render started<br>
<b>1) Huge spike on RAM and it will stay there till will go up again</b>
(it wont get down again for nothing)<br>

and that RAID should sustain a lot more so I don't think this is the
reason for a potential bottleneck)<br>

usage)<br>

Same settings on that Z600 (but without ESXI) will produce different
results.<br>
<br>
So the main questions here is this: <b>Does anyone have some
experience with ESXI machines?<br>
<br>
<br>
